Stone Bridge : info and guided tour

Overview of Stone Bridge

The Stone Bridge of Zaragoza is one of the city’s most iconic crossings over the Ebro. Located in the Casco Antiguo, at Puente de Piedra, it has long connected the historic centre with the riverbanks. Its name refers to its stone structure, which has become a major landmark in Zaragoza.

The current bridge is part of a long history of river crossings at this spot, where several bridges have stood over the centuries. The bridge seen today is tied to the city’s historic heritage and reflects the reconstructions and adaptations needed to withstand the Ebro’s floods and urban use.

From an architectural point of view, the Stone Bridge stands out for its masonry arches and its regular silhouette, creating a harmonious line above the river. Its sober, solid stone presence contrasts with the water and the banks. It is also a popular viewpoint over the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar and the city skyline.

The bridge is famous both for its practical function and for its importance in Zaragoza’s identity. Crossed by locals and visitors alike, it offers direct access to the historic heart of the city while also being a much-photographed spot thanks to its riverside setting. Its arches and views over the Ebro are among its most notable features.
